Abstract
In 1794, Johann Peter Frank coined the term “diabetes insipidus” to distinguish patients with this condition from those who had diabetes mellitus. A collaborative team of professionals from various international endocrinology and pediatric organizations is now recommending a change in nomenclature. They suggest that "diabetes insipidus" be replaced with “arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D)” for cases of central origin, while proposing the term “arginine vasopressin resistance (AVP-R)” for nephrogenic cases (1)
